  Thanks for this, I honestly couldn't figure them out, have neve done any hood / bar setup before so was only trying to fix them by rotating at the stem mount.

  Will still probably swap them but good to know I wasn't losing my mind.

  Been working on making this into a super commuter but I think the bars and brakes are going to have to go, will replace with flat bar and vs. Managed to stop brakes rubbing and swapped the saddle today which felt like progress. Also added a dynamo front wheel (but no lights yet)

  Perfect. Just ordered

  Do you have any advice on not immediately losing it though?

  I've heard this but also heard that it's the best. Seems weird. Did you shake well before applying?

  will do a proper write up later but overall, I thought it was great! Highly recommend.

  Decent shout on the Smith London caps. Nice tastefully sized peak. Shame they're just cotton (not much cop if it rains) but still good.

  Thanks to previous advice I have booked onto the 3 day stretch of the South West Coast Path from Abbotsbury to Lulworth Cove.

  Next question: I want to set up an ebay search for some hiking poles. Don't think I need anything great, just want to buy something second hand rather than new. Does anyone have some brands I can put in the search box? I know nothing about hiking poles.

  Hopefully doing this over 4 days this weekend. Any up to the second intel?

  Seems like fear mongering given most electric car owners charge at home for fuck all. The low cost / mile is one of the most disruptive things about electric cars.
